Maddie, Kaylee, Ethan & Xana have taken us on an emotional ride, rooting for them posthumously. Everyone in Moscow, and in Idaho, even though many do not talk about it, think of them often, with love. They were UI students but they resemble college kids all across the country. Each of them unique, striving for something, leaning into their futures. When something like this happens, many of us, we need to come away learning something, ANYTHING. Maybe it is lock your doors or close your blinds, choose your friends wisely or understand some may feel left out, or just realize that this could happen ANYWHERE and be careful.
I hope they get what they need tomorrow, even if I fear we will not. Answers. I know I am not owed them, but they are, the families sure are, and we all need to process what went on in the 1122 King Road house on November 13th. I can only imagine they had no understanding. WHY?
Details may sting, but missing information will leave a hole permanently. I hope it all makes a little more sense tomorrow. I doubt it, but I do hope. JMOO
